Information about your Council Tax bill 2018/19

Epping Forest District Council collects your Council Tax and then shares this with Essex County Council, the Essex Police and Crime Commissioner, the Essex Fire and Rescue Service and the Parish and Town Councils. You will find links from this page to the information that will explain how your Council Tax bill has been calculated and how the money you pay is spent on local services.

The table below shows how we plan to spend on each of our main services. We collect some of this money through Council Tax, but we also have two other main sources of income – the Revenue Support Grant and Business Rates.

We work out how much Council Tax we must collect by adding together the money each of the four authorities needs. This year, the total Council Tax we have to collect is £81,588,076 not including town and parish councils. If for example, your home is in band D, the average Council Tax for this year will be £1,538.55 plus the amount you pay to your local parish council, which is shown on your Council Tax bill. The table below shows the Council Tax for an average property in band D.

The tables and information below show parish and town councils that spend more than £140,000: Buckhurst Hill Parish Council

The change in net expenditure is to cater for the annual reduction in government grant and due to the contribution to working balances to offset the necessary contributions in earlier years and to restore them to an acceptable level.
